OK - it's easier to make a fixed number of devices and just make it larger - I'm nervous about making it unlimited because that would mean re-writing some stuff as loops and that's too much coding for me to do in a test release (too likely to introduce new bugs). So I'll do that for now and try to get a better fix into a later release.
